His contract will end next summer, so I assume we will pay Roma to get him there in advance?

That's the Arsenal way?

Article says that Roma have declined Chambers because he "doesn't fit the profile"... which is surprising, because the usual profile with Roma is to pay over the odds for Arsenal's unwanted players, so he should have been a perfect fit.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Such a weird situation. Feels simultaneously likes he's been here forever but you also think of him as a youngster still waiting for a chance.

HG not being an issue now, we should move him on in January if possible.

At nearly 27 he needs to be playing week in week out and he's not good enough to do it at Arsenal.

Mkhitaryan? Or who? They bent us over for that one at least.

Think that is the PL way unfortunately. No one is selling PL players on good salaries to clubs abroad.

Rather we keep him then.

Mark Irwin seems to be trusted on here

Another player who should have been out the door ages ago.

I think Calum needs to a regular starter somewhere and would be better aiming a little lower, can't see him being a regular at Everton. They are pretty well stocked in central defence, less so at right back and central midfield but there are still better players ahead of him.

 

[Barry]

£5m for Calum would be worth doing to be honest. I could see us losing him for free otherwise. Depends what the plan is at RB though - obviously he's homegrown which is useful, but maybe AMN has leapfrogged him now? Either way, we don't need 4 right-backs.

 

[Riou]

Could have gotten a good fee for him a few years ago, tbh.

Has "leaving on a free" written all over him now though, so will take anything above that

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Ridiculous decision not to sell him after his Fulham loan, but that was the Three Fids a Day / Em*ry reign...

Aka the Edu era

Aka the Edu era

Edu started on 9 July of 2019. All of that summer (Pepe signing, Iwobi sale, etc.) we talk about being Raül (Three Fids') work, as Edu was apparently learning the ropes, why would it be different with Chambers?

 

[Jury]

Paid £15m for him, which was a lot for a kid back then, to take him out of S'oton's reserves... And he's never been worth a penny more than that since. All he's done is depreciate. Another one.

Edu was officially the technical director.

Mental gymnastics ain’t the way son.

Mhmm...so you put that summer down to Edu, then? I think that would make you a part of a very, very small minority. Indeed the report done by that guy (the one from West Brom, was it, who is now with us?) investigating the Pepe signing picked out Raül as the culprit...

But yeah, I'm the one doing the mental gymnastics.

I’ll be real I don’t really care. You go off either way though.

 

[Riou]

Would blame Raul/Ivan more for Chambers, than Edu.

Eddie going on a free, is more like something you hold against Edu.
